The evidentiary exam following sexual assault provides crucial evidence that can be used by the prosecuting attorney to obtain a conviction in sexual assault cases. Evidence is collected for three purposes: to corroborate the use of force; to corroborate that recent sexual contact occurred; and to identify the perpetrator. Relatively few assailants (4%) go to jail for rape. To a great extent this is because of a lack of corroborating evidence and misinterpretation of this lack of evidence by police, courts, and jurors. This paper presents the results of a study to determine the likelihood of obtaining corroborating evidence of recent coitus along with an explanation of what negative results mean. Based on the results, recommendations are presented for sexual assault evidence collection in emergency departments.
性侵犯后的证据检查能提供关键证据，可被检察官用于在性侵案件中定罪。收集证据有三个目的：证实使用了武力；证实近期发生了性接触；识别犯罪者。相对较少的攻击者（4%）因强奸入狱。在很大程度上，这是因为缺乏佐证证据，以及警方、法院和陪审员对这种证据缺失的错误解读。本文呈现了一项研究的结果，以确定获得近期性交佐证证据的可能性，并解释阴性结果的含义。基于这些结果，针对急诊科的性侵犯证据收集提出了建议。
